New in Theatres · September 23, 2011

If you’re in the mood to see an inspirational movie based on true events then you are going to fall out of your chair when we tell you that FOUR of the FIVE new movies this week are based on true events!! Yup! 80% of the newcomers are those nice award-season friendly “based on a true story…” things. Yes, even the Jason Statham one!

But, if that’s not your scene, you can go watch that werewolf kid play spy games for an hour and a half…

“Regular” kid learns he was kidnapped as a child and his entire life is a lie. After escaping an agency attack he goes on the run in order to expose the complex conspiracy surrounding him. (This one is NOT based on a true story).

Price of Admission will get you a Twilight-esque version of The ‘Bourne‘ series.

Based on the true story of a boy who befriends a dolphin after her tail is severed in a crab trap and the people who work to construct a prosthetic appendage.

Price of Admission will get you plenty of opportunities to try and hide the fact you’re crying like a baby through all the inspirational scenes of the determined underdolphin overcoming impossible odds.

I am not feeling too excited about these movies. How about a movie about underdog ninjas overcoming impossible odds to stabilize the nuclear situation in Japan and prevent future natural disasters there? With undercover Geisha sidekicks?? Now that’s a movie I’d run to the theatre for. Seriously – I am within running distance of Collossus Woodbridge. Which is shaped like a gigantic UFO, by the way.
Did I mention that I am exhausted and just ate a whole container or sugar-coated walnuts?

HEY! HAVE YOU SEEN THESE YET??
